I'd definitely recommend this game although it's not for everyone, I mean its for those who are interested in conquest of new world. Game has interesting plot, you can learn some facts/myths concerning spanish conquest and motives that conquistadors were driven by. It puts you in front of moral dilemmas, so you can choose how you resolve different situations, meaning by violence or diplomatically. In spite of that, game is quite linear and as a result replayability is limited. It could have more side quests. Soundtrack fits well to entire game. Combat system is poor in comparison to for example Age of Wonders 2. I mean there are not many tactical moves you can perform. I know it's quite different game in terms of world and reality but genre is the same. I don't mind you have to fight with enemy that overwhelms you in numbers, but you should have possibility to deploy to battle more units, regarding you have more than 10 under your command. Six is little funny number comparing to other strategy games. I know that muskets and arquebuses were quite inaccurate, but if unit is taking aim at another one that stands next to it and it misses most of the time in spite of the fact, game shows 70% chance of hitting the target, sth is wrong about that. It doesn't apply hunters and trappers who are designated for ranged combat but other classess that possess ranged weapon have extremely poor chance to hit enemy. In spite of those few pitfalls, game is worth playing, especially if you're fan of turn-based strategy games and want to feel like explorer in new world for once.

In this game you are a Spanish Conquistador. You can choose if you want to trade and intermix with the natives, or if you want to brutally kill them, rob them and burn their villages!For that you get to choose you followers, which can be racist or open-minded, greedy or altruistic, pious or narcisistic, peacefull or agressive, etc.There are several classes of followers, like soldiers, hunters and doctors, and when you gain experience you get to promote them, giving them more abilities to help you in the game.The game is based in the exploration of the main map, with battles every time you encounter someone and don't get the chance (or don't want to) deal with them peacefully or run away.The battles are turn based, and the goals can be to kill every enemy or just to survive a certain number of turns. Most of the times you can set up barricades and traps, or use items like torches and lanterns to set the scenery on fire! The AI is not to clever, but as you are regularly outnumbered these battles turn up to be quite chalenging. You get to manage your resources, like food and medicine, and if you run out of them, you're in big trouble as you can't feed or heal your people!In the course of the game you'll have many dialogues, with your followers or with other characters, and the decisions you take in those dialogues (wheter to fight or trade, wheter to punish anyone or leave him alone) have influence on the morale of your followers. If this gets too low they will rebel!All in all a very engaging game that puts you in place of a Conquistador, trying to win glory and fame!

It's a little bit like the Heroes of Might and Magic series, minus the fantasy. The setting is interesting and not often explored in games, so it's nice to see it done justice here. The combat is challenging and fun, and the management aspects will require you to pay attention. Each team member has a story and a personality, some will vehemently disagree with your decisions and others will come to you for advice about their personal problems. Graphically, it looks ok and runs well on older hardware. The soundtrack, although short, is excellent and I often find myself whistling the tunes when I'm not playing the game. You can choose to be a care bear, a ruthless genocidal maniac or something in between. You will often face tough moral questions and your decisions will impact the moral of your followers.

If you are interested in this period of history, or if you like turn-based strategy, or even if you are suffering a bit of genre fatigue and want to try something different then Expeditions: Conquistador is definitely worth a shot.
